Give them some Extra Strength
When you think of summer, what do you think about? Warm sunshine? 24/7 turnout? Growing grass? No mud? Flies? Yes, we know what it’s like, flies can put a real dampener on summer, but with our great range of Extra Strength Fly Repellents, they can be removed from your list!
Our ever popular Extra Strength Fly Repellent spray heads up the range. This formulation was tried and tested in the Far East where they have biting insects all year round and proved to be really successful.
We might not have flies all year round in the UK, but this fly repellent is incredibly effective over here too. It has excellent repellent properties, has produced no allergic reactions to date (although we always recommend testing on a small area first) and a little goes a long way, so it’s great value too- it currently has a RRP of £13.99 for a 500ml trigger spray bottle, and larger sizes are available too.
Our new Fly Repellent Gel 3535 packs a real punch when it comes to repelling flies and biting insects…and it’s excellent value with a 500g tub lasting the average horse for just over a month! The powerful gel contains 15% Ethyl Butylacetulaminopropionate (better known as IR3535) and excelled during our trial period in 2012. As per Extra Strength Fly Repellent, we didn’t see any allergic reactions from this product…but we always recommend testing on a small area first. It can be applied where needed with a cloth, sponge or brush and lasts incredibly well.
